The defeat of Proposal 7 is part of how DAO governance works: some ideas pass, some don’t. There will be wins and losses, but let’s remember: we are all still in the same community.

Please avoid gloating, finger-pointing or fueling division. Let's make thoughtful decisions, learn from the process and build together, even when we disagree.

Onward (and thank you)!

(1/2) What does "community" really mean? There was a /citynouns member proposal defeated last night. Some are disappointed. Some are relieved. And some are celebrating in the open, as if it were a battle between good and evil, the insiders and outsiders, the haves and have-nots.

That's a problem.

DAO spaces are experiments in shared power, and that means things will break. When a community is reduced to sides — when disagreement becomes division, and debate turns into disdain — we’ve already lost more than a proposal.

How should we move through moments like this? In partnership or with pitchforks?

Community isn't just shared goals; it's shared responsibility. It's being accountable not just for your vote, but for your tone, your words, your presence. It’s letting people be human instead of turning them into characters in a story about who's right and who's ruined everything.
